Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips: The base for the fudge, providing rich chocolate flavor.
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk: Adds sweetness and a creamy texture to the fudge.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor of the chocolate.
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces: Adds crunch and a sweet, peanut buttery flavor.
  • 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars: Provides a unique texture and flavor that complements the chocolate.
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (optional, for drizzling): Adds an extra layer of flavor and richness.

Tools You’ll Need

  • 8x8-inch baking dish: For setting the fudge.
  • Parchment paper: To line the baking dish and make removing the fudge easier.
  • Medium saucepan: For melting the chocolate and mixing the fudge base.
  • Spatula: For spreading the fudge evenly in the dish.

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Fudge Base

Start by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir continuously to ensure the chocolate melts evenly and doesn’t burn. Continue stirring until the mixture is completely smooth.

Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

2. Add the Candy

Gently fold in half of the Reese’s Pieces and half of the crushed Butterfinger candy bars into the melted chocolate mixture. This ensures that every bite of fudge is packed with delicious candy goodness.

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth, even layer.

3. Top the Fudge

Sprinkle the remaining Reese’s Pieces and crushed Butterfinger candy bars evenly over the top of the fudge. Press them lightly into the surface to ensure they adhere as the fudge sets.

If you’re using peanut butter, drizzle it over the top of the fudge for an added layer of flavor and richness.

4. Chill and Set

Place the fudge in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until it’s fully set. Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang.

Cut the fudge into 16 squares (or smaller pieces if you prefer bite-sized treats) and serve. The fudge can be enjoyed immediately or stored for later.

Notes

Tips for Making the Perfect Butterfinger and Reese’s Pieces Fudge

  • Use low heat: When melting the chocolate, keep the heat low to prevent burning and ensure a smooth mixture.
  • Fold gently: When adding the candy to the fudge base, fold gently to avoid breaking the pieces too much.
  • Chill thoroughly: Make sure the fudge is completely set before cutting to get clean, even slices.
  • Customize your toppings: Feel free to add more candies, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt to give your fudge a personal touch.
